The simpler solution for you is probably setting up an #include file with sequence of #define entries defining the proper constant names for you.

The actual translation in messaging layers should not be a significant problem.
Problems come about more because messages end up being modified far more than they should - probably because insufficient design or because there is no adherence to longer term roadmaps.
But if enums are a problem then move them, and only them into their own namespace (and dll.) Or redesign so static values are not used at all. That does of course trade strictness for ease of use.

The "Name", of the enum "value", is the "key", not the value.
The "personal" Enums happen to be "views" (I just made that up)
The fact that one uses bytes (I do) or ints, makes no difference.
The more I think about it, the more I like it.

Hi,
I have implemented a billing application in c#. I have stored customer data and billing data into sqlite database. I have created Setup project for the same. I need help here, when I install application, sqlite database(*.db) was not created automatically. I tried couple of custom actions(Install and commit) but sqlite database was not created during installation. Let me know if anyone have solution?
Thank You!

Do you have an empty copy of the database that you're looking to install, or are you wanting the install program to run a Sqlite command to create a new, empty database file?
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

You could create the database from code; use scripts or code to create your tables.
It is far easier to create a DB that contains all tables but no data. Then you simply copy the empty DB to the appropriate location using the installer.
That means, NOT in the "Program Files" directory. I'd expect this DB to live in a single user-account. If you want multiple users, then SQLite isn't your best starting-ground.

I am new to ASP.NET Core. I have written a code that works on my local computer but when I publish the app to our test environment the behavior is strange. The scenario is as follows:
When the user clicks a link, the app exports data to an excel file which is downloaded. On my PC / dev env, the data is downloaded fine and you can see it on the Excel sheet however on Test, it is rather the webpage that is on the Excel sheet hence giving a message "The file format and extension of summary.xls don't match. The file could be corrupted or unsafe" when you open the Excel file.
Find below my code:
In ReportController.cs
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult ExportSummaryToExcel(string startDate, string endDate, string postalCode)
{
string strStartDate = startDate;
string strEndDate = endDate;
string strRequestedPostalCode = postalCode;
ViewBag.StartDate = startDate;
ViewBag.EndDate = endDate;
ViewBag.RequestedPostalCode = postalCode;
DataTable rsReportDataByPostalCode = _summaryByAgeStagePostalCodeService.
GetSummaryByPostalCode(strStartDate + " 00:00:00.000000000", strEndDate + " 23:59:59.000000000", strRequestedPostalCode);
ReportViewModel reportViewModel = new ReportViewModel();
reportViewModel.ReportDataByPostalCodeTable = rsReportDataByPostalCode;
return View("_ExportSummaryToExcel", reportViewModel);
}
In _ExportSummaryToExcel.cshtml

try{
string strNewPostalCode = "";
string strRequestedPostalCode = "";
string strStartDate = "";
string strEndDate = "";
strRequestedPostalCode = ViewBag.RequestedPostalCode;
strStartDate = ViewBag.StartDate;
strEndDate = ViewBag.EndDate;
String strExcelTemplatePath = "";
strExcelTemplatePath = _hostingEnvironment.ContentRootPath + "\\Views\\Reports\\SummaryByAgeStagePostalBlank.xls";
HSSFWorkbook wb = new HSSFWorkbook(new FileStream(strExcelTemplatePath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite));
ISheet sheet = wb.GetSheetAt(0);
DataTable rsReportDataByPostalCode;
rsReportDataByPostalCode = Model.ReportDataByPostalCodeTable;
int rowCount = rsReportDataByPostalCode.Rows.Count;
int currentRowNumber = 2;
sheet.GetRow(0).GetCell(0).SetCellValue("Summary Data For Postal Code " + strRequestedPostalCode );
sheet.GetRow(0).GetCell(4).SetCellValue("Start Date: " + strStartDate );

catch (Exception ex)

}
}
var originalBody = Context.Response.Body;
wb.Write(originalBody);
HttpContextAccessor.HttpContext.Response.Body.Flush();
HttpContextAccessor.HttpContext.Response.Body.Close();
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
}
}
Could the issue be that Context.Reponse.Body is not working right on our test environment ?
I have also tried another alternative by putting the entire download operation in my Controller but have experience same issue
On visual studio where is working I run the code with IIS Espress. Our test environment is on IIS
Also, we have checked the logs and there are no error messages to help point us to the root cause of the issue
I will appreciate any help to fix this

I'm doing something similar with product called Gembox. In a nutshell, I create the excel file and save it to a path under the website. In my case it is normally a folder called ExcelTemp. I save the file to that folder then use the following code to save it on the enduser's pc. This code will prompt them to save it unless the browser is set to automatically put it somewhere.
Response.Clear();
Response.Buffer = true;
Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment;filename=" + System.IO.Path.GetFileName(fileName));
Response.Charset = "";
Response.WriteFile(fileName);
Response.End();
The code need the fileName as a string.

Well, that's hardly surprising - your code swallows any exceptions that are thrown! 
Fokwa Divine wrote:

At a guess, the server has response buffering turned off for performance reasons. As a result, the Stream returned from Context.Response.Body is not "seekable", and the wb.Write call is failing for that reason.
Looking through the NPOI examples repo[^], you should write the workbook to a MemoryStream first, then copy that to the response.
Also, there's no need to use HttpContextAccessor within your view; you already have access to the current response via the Context.Response property.
I would strongly recommend generating the workbook in your controller, or preferable a service that you call from your controller, and sending it back to the client in a custom response type.
For example:
public HSSFExcelResult : FileStreamResult
{
private const ExcelMimeType = "application/vnd.ms-excel";
private static Stream SaveWorkbook(HSSFWorkbook workbook)
{
ArgumentNullException.ThrowIfNull(workbook);
MemoryStream ms = new();
workbook.Write(ms);
ms.Seek(0L, SeekOrigin.Begin);
return ms;
}
public HSSFExcelResult(HSSFWorkbook workbook) : base(SaveWorkbook(workbook), ExcelMimeType)
{
}
}
[HttpGet]
public ActionResult ExportSummaryToExcel(string startDate, string endDate, string postalCode)
{
HSSFWorkbook workbook = _summaryByAgeStagePostalCodeService.ExportSummaryToExcel(startDate, endDate, postalCode);
return new HSSFExcelResult(workbook) { FileDownloadName = "Summary.xls" };
}

We finally found the issue. This template file
SummaryByAgeStagePostalBlank.xls was not getting copied along when we publish the project to our Test environment. We set the property for the file on Visual Studio to always copy if newer. The initial setting was "Do not copy".

Your code needs better error detection.
As already noted do not eat exceptions.
Also do checks to make sure you actually did something. For example, did you read the file but it was empty?

Hi Guys
me again, old man again  .. I have used Scanner set as com port and I like to change it to use Bluetooth, used as com port.
I have register device and change it to use it as com port in Windows 11. I am using SerialPort and add
SerialErrorReceivedEventHandler . This event never happens. I cannot find any suggestion. Can you help me please ?
Regards John

Perhaps there are no errors.

Hi Richard.
no errors, The Receive Data Event not working. the com port is in /foreach(string port in ports) / as well it shows as com port in Device Manager as 'Standard Serial over Bluetooth link (COM4)'. I use standard Serial port structure <serialport(port)>. It works as HID, when I scan barcode while in Note Pad ?!!?? In device manager I have its HID disabled. When I change the driver to do as com port, my software works. I have an issue with the com port driver supplied with the scanner, and this is the reason I like to change it.
Regards John

If it is a problem with the device you are connecting to then there is very little anyone here can do to help.
|
|
|
|

Hi Richard
maybe I have not been clear. I do not want to use the faulty driver as it has problems. This is why I like to use Scanner via Bluetooth and redirected to operate as com port. The Bluetooth driver is Microsoft and redirection is done via Windows 11, so no faulty driver to be used.
regards John

Sorry, maybe I am being dense, but I still do not understand what you are asking for.
|
|

|

Hi Richard
I want to use Bluetooth connection and use it to communicate as serial port with <serialdatareceivedeventhandler> to operate. Maybe I am asking for something which cannot be done
appreciate you help
regards John

|
|

Hi Richard
Yes this is what I am using, but the event is never triggered. Serial port exists.
thanks again
regards John

|

Hi Richard
great, yes this is how I use it, only I would like to use DataReceiveEvent. I will try to do it using the loop, may be this is the solution.
Thanks you very much

I have used OData in my asp.net core project. I have problem with nullable foreign keys. When I want to use expand in url query, there is an exception that says:
System.InvalidOperationException: Nullable object must have a value.
I have provided a simple reproducible project in GitHub GitHub - codeblock88/temp: This repository is used for debugging.[^]repository.
Please help me to solve this problem.

If a key is nullable then how can it be used to maintain referential integrity?
